Coco's
adventures
At my own scale, I am an adventurer.
My neurodivergence makes new social interactions feel like jumping off a parachute every single time. Despite it, I do take that leap with as much joy as anxiety, and it has led me to some of the most beautiful and precious encounters. My sensory profile makes regular things such as taking a plane or a bus a small-scale adventure, and this is just the start of the list.
In 2010, I sold the little possessions I had to leave with a one-way ticket to Sri Lanka. This was the start of an 8 years adventure around 4 continents, focussed on surviving, and eventually learning to live with myself and the rest of the world. Life had been particularly hard until that point. Leaving everything I knew as far as possible was the only solution that made sense to me back then.
During these years I have documented my travels, encounters and experiences as a rootless being on the french blog Vie Nomade and in my photography portfolio. Although many of the views don't represent who I am today anymore, most of the stories are still very dear to my heart and the project is kept alive as an archive to document the life of a marginal existence.
Nowadays I am resuming my travels in both similar and different ways that bring me closer to nature, such as through-hiking.
